Helpline Center Asks for Help to Support Vulnerable in Community

The need for connection in our current climate is more important than ever. If you doubt it, ask anyone who has been in isolation, or quarantine, for weeks. Whether you're Face-timing, Skyping, calling, or some other form of communication, with friends and family, it can be the difference between surviving these times or not.

These are just a few of the opportunities to become someone making meaningful connections in Sioux Falls.
